Rotten Door, Full Repair. Here's How I Did It.
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 06. 2024
- I get asked a lot which blades I used in the multitool. I like these ones - amzn.to/3pthIyP alongside the festool Speed max blades - amzn.to/32lcY5R
The Panel in the video is not Normal MDF It is called Medite Extreme MDF Which is a product known as Tricoya - tricoya.com
The Timber Used is Accoya - www.accoya.com/uk
Air bags used in the frame repair - amzn.to/3f2RE7X
This is the Long version of the door restoration. Please see here for the Quick run through. • Restoring A Door In Un...
In this Episode I am restoring a Door and Frame in a walled garden. Splicing the frame with a new Accoya section and replacing the whole bottom 1/3rd of the door. This is an original Redwood pine door, an incredibly durable slow grown timber (unlike modern redwood) and is well over 40 years old! More than worthy of a bit of restoration! I hope you enjoy the process!
I chose to repair as its more economical. Its a very durable gate already as it has lasted a long time up to this point. To replace the frame would be quite destructive and there is a lot of expensive timber and time to make a replica arched gate. I managed to complete this whole process in a weekend, 11am start on the Saturday and finished around 7pm on Sunday. A replacement would take an awful lot longer.

I watch a lot of build videos on youtube, but I don't think I've ever sat through a full 50 minute video without skipping any bits. Very good job on the repair. Impressive.
Well thats good to hear! CHEERS MATEY!
Great video, loved the proper joints!
They still exist ! People with dedication to their job, skills and the right attitude. Well done sir
Thanks Mike, yes there are many good tradesman about, thinning out though!
@@BradshawJoinery Subbed
Thankyou very much 😊
they certainly do exist....for a fair price Mike!
And equipment!
I spent 95% of my working life making reproduction dining chairs, Hepplewhite and Chippendale styles. I still do the occasional odd jobs, and there are so many bodged jobs and cowboys out there. But you are the real deal. Pleasure to watch your approach, planning and execution. Great to see such a comprehensive workshop and some one who knows how to use it, could almost smell the wood. Your client was, I hope, highly delighted with your efforts. Well done, first class job.
Thankyou Bob, now that is a skill that is very much disappearing, chair making! Thankyou for your comment, means a lot coming from someone so skilled
Maybe some were cowboys but maybe some were just practical amateurs having a go. Done a few DIY jobs myself that look ok from a distance but what a tradesman would tut and shake his head at. Most still did the job and got it fixed until I could afford to get it done professionally.
@@spenny6222
Here your better off doing it yourself.
A lot of so called pros cant hit the head of a nail with a sldge hammer.
I can drive a 16 penny in with 3 swings and set it flush. Not many guys can do that anymore its all about power tools.
I've seen stuff done on my 1990s house that every trade dropped the stupid ball on. Some of it shouldn't have passed codes inspection andvorvits not just crappy craftsmanship but stright up mistakes they let slide.
Yep you want good work youve got to do it yourself.
Without doubt one of the most skilled carpenter joiners on CZcams. Quality work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Legend, Cheers Tony!! :)
He used mdf board for an outdoor panel... that is unbelievable.
@@mrfarts5176 Tricoya is amazing stuff. Skillbuilder did a thing where is was submerged in water for a few weeks and still came up fine. Mind you it’s also an amazing price.
@@tonyalways7174 I looked it up. People make planters out of this stuff and it holds up fine. I stand corrected. I wish this stuff was solld in my country. Every piece of mdf in Mexico swells withing hours of being installed.
@@mrfarts5176you obviously know nothing mate.
I'm very proud to say I am a man of the same cloth as yourself. Blowing my trumpet and yours your work is out standing I did a lot of repro and repair for listed buildings . And I must say watching you work is an absolute pleasure. The quality and approach you take to your carpentry is an absolute credit to you sir. Very well done.
Thanks for that, it always means a lot coming from someone of experience! 😊 I've done a fair bit of repair work now, it's deffo not my main stay of work, made s few very nice repairs of sash bay windows in the past !
Beautiful job. Privilege to watch a true craftsman at work!
Cheers John, Much appreciated.
nice to see someone getting a carpenter/joiner doing a joiners job instead of expecting the decorator to do it
That little compression bag is a cool tool I’ve never seen those before and I’ve been doing this for over 30 years
Cheers Richard, yes they are very handy, I raised an aga up using 3 of them recently! Haha
I put a link in the description to these ones
As a painter the one of the things I do when doing small repairs is to prime and coat the entire bottom edge of the frame repair to prevent rain water from wicking up the frame to prevent rot and insect infestation.
Cheers Bill, I did coat the end grain with Sikens Wv456. Its great stuff and worth having in your kit bag!
@@BradshawJoinery Glad to hear that I knew you were top notch.
Not a clue why CZcams recommended this but I'm glad it did. Absolutely stunning workmanship, bravo sir 👍👍👍
Thanks for that! 😊👌
Love the calm systematic craftsmanship. Great stuff.
This is my new favourite carpentry channel. I'm "ok" at woodwork & love to learn more about it - but this gives me ideas I'd never have thought - things like angling the cuts at 45 degrees to help support the door frame. I think a lot of content creators walked away from doing long & detailed videos on CZcams due to the algorithm, which is a shame as this is how a lot of us learn.
...and now a Patreon
Hi, thankyou so much! It really makes the effort of making the videos worthwhile hearing such feedback! Yes its difficult to put long info videos out when youtube really promoted short, clickbait content. Thankyou so much.
Muntins and Dutchman, everyday’s a school day!! Absolutely stunning job. Learnt so much. Keep up the superb work and great content. Thanks 😀
Cheers Adam. Your a gent. 😊
That is an amazing restoration of good old solid wooden door that will be good for another 50 years. The customer must have been well pleased with the results. A very satisfying watch of a skilled tradesman at work.
Hi James, thankyou for such a good comment. It really helps encourage me to work on more videos. Yeah the client is tickled pink and now its painted it looks as god as a new door.
@@BradshawJoinery "Tickled pink"! Hahaha! Never heard that one before. English isn't my first language, though :).
This type of restoration was always my favourite over the past 50 years. Having said that, I am still quite in awe of your skills, efficient layout, and tool fluency, to say nothing of the extraordinarily well adapted tooling manifesting a tremendous amount of thoughtful preparation of the work space, both in the shop and in the field. Yikes, the overhead! Very little appreciation for this quality of work in the US, at least in my little backwater. I was thoroughly entertained and so impressed with the efficiency. I learned a lot I’ll sadly never have the opportunity to apply.
Hi Christopher, thankyou for that, your too kind, yes the logistics and preperation required to carry out such a task is lost on most people here and many such things would be overlooked. To a passer by i'd look like some old boy fiddling about with an old door and not given a second thought haha!
Definitely a cornucopia of high quality industrial woodworking tools in Bradshaw;s shop.
As a retired carpenter joiner myself, I would like to thank all his fans for their kind comments for a doing a 'meat and potatoes' job.
I'm a few days off 76 and I still ended up doing the odd job of a similar nature since I still had, and still have, all my tools, including table saw, thicknesser, mortessing machine, compound mitre saw, pillar drill and a whole bunch of cramps of various types.
While it all looks very skilled etc. my biggest problem was getting people to pay their bill.
They either didn't want to pay what the job was worth and would make up any excuse to pay late and at a discount or not pay at all.
The worst offenders tended to be the 'well heeled'. Probably why they were well heeled.
One of my customers had a property in London, a small holding in Kent, a top of the range up market company car and three kids at Eton and had the nerve to call me expensive at £16 an hour (about 10 years ago).
Thankyou so much David, what a great comment! As for the well heeled folk, some are diamonds, the others don't deserve your time! I say your cheap, you certainly would be in today's money around here!
All the best 👍👍, Olly
Glad you appreciated my comments.
Had another customer who recommended me to him by a joinery firm I used to work for.
He'd recently bought a large pile from a solicitor for 6m and was having it repainted on the outside.
When the decorator found some rot on the windows he asked me to repair the damage, but because I was already doing some work for someone else I said I could only work on the sat and sun and agreed an hourly rate (£16).
I stretched it to fri, sat, sun and mon and then had to leave to get on with my original job.
I waited until he had managed to get another carpenter before sending him a bill.
A month went by and no payment so I rang him to ask a reason.
He said he was 'fining' me for not carrying on with the repairs and that I could take him to the 'highest court in the land' and then put the phone down on me.
I enjoy watching an individual that work with pride and detail. Thank you for letting us watch your excellency on restoring rotten wood!
Thankyou for the kind words!!
Holy hell. I just happened upon this video and I just love the job you've done here, especially the incredible skill shown with the multi tool. Repair it don't bin it. Good job!
Thankyou Murray, appreciate the kind words :)
@@annesmith6582 You must be great fun at parties.
seamless joinery. like the pace you work at. no guessin gotta come from tons of experience. you are a credit to the trades
Thankyou Marcus, real pleasure to receive comments like that
It will always be a patch door more work and passionate than there is building a new one
I can’t believe how much work and skill is involved in this! Fantastic to watch the process and decision making. Wow!
Thankyou very much! :)
I can, and it's videos like this that all clients need to watch when they question the price.
This is one of the most interesting repairs I've seen on CZcams for a while now. Including watching the likes of Diresta.
Wow! Thankyou for that!!
Lovely job! I’ve seen repairs to rotten timber done with mortar so it’s really nice to see a a skilled and thorough job.
Cheers Roger, yes I've come across a few "repairs" in my time 😂😂
The moral of the story is that wood cannot come down to the ground if you expect it to last.
A fine piece of work, I sat enthralled throughout. Watching a craftsman work is pure pleasure.
Cheers Richard, its good to hear! Always nerve racking posting something youve done wondering if it will be well recieved. I appreciate the media quality isnt great yet, but the content hopefully is good!
A great video showing step by step the refurbishment process. It was also great to see the various workshop power tools in use - the average DIY'er like myself does get to see these expensive machines in use. Thank you for a most enjoyable video. 👌
Thanks for that! No problem whatsoever
The whole door needs another coat of paint and you have a marvelous door make over. A job well done.
Hi Dyana, yes it has had several more, a month or two later the professional painter did it
Love watching real artisans like yourself,
EXCELLENT JOB 👍
Thankyou @fos62
WOW 😳 amazing craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing your videos. Beautiful historical buildings in your country. We love the architecture.
God bless 🙏
Nice work as usual, Ollie.
I hope the customer appreciated just how much work went into repairing that door and frame. Excellent job.
The videos really help put across how much work is involved! Thankyou
A days work, 800+, nice little earner..
Tons of little gems in this video. There are so many small techniques that separate the novice from the pro. Great job!
Thanks for that, yes, its the little things that count
I need to repair a door and would not have thought of repairing the door and frame as you have shown
Absolutely fascinating watching you
Thank you
Outstanding workmanship. Great to see "REAL" carpenters still exist. My only question would be about the panels. Did you use MDF and how do you rate it will last, especially outside. I've heard even the "exterior" grade is not that good.
Hey, thanks for that, this is special MDF, made from Accoya wood fibres, it will not swell or rot outside, even untreated. Its called tricoya there is a link in the description
Worked for Decorating Company for 20 yrs used to do these jobs no workshop just a pair stools circular saw ,sander ,planer & hand tools .We used grip fill to glue up very full filling work .Miss it never 2jobs the same.
Very fulfilling work isn't it. Can be frustrating with the weather though!
bring what ya brung
And that's a TRADESMAN folks. From a retired cabinet maker, Excellent job.
Cheers Keith! That good of you to say
Amazing work, I will be putting this knowledge to work very soon with a rotten door of my own
I love watching restorations, this one was brill. Let's have some more please.
Cheers Alan, i will be doing some sash windows at the end of 2022 so stay tuned haha!!
Sometimes my recommended watch list throws up some really good stuff, this was one. Super quality repair. Subscribed👍
Awesome news thanks James!
Best door repair job i have ever seen. Well done sir !!!!!!!!
Thankyou!!!
Brother puts a lot of faith in glue for rainy weather exterior applications.
My faith lies in the Accoya timber stability. Without movement glue will remain integral
I really enjoyed that. Great work. Lovely attention to detail and very neat work.
Cheers Mark, appreciate you commenting 👍
Outstanding job Sir! A joy to watch, and thank you for sharing your mastery of this craft.
Cheers Tobias
Dont know how I stumbled on this video but by far the best skillful carpenter I've seen on CZcams
Legend, ill take that!!!
Outstanding work!
Beautiful, just loved watching, you made it look so easy and effortless
CHeers George!! :)
Excellent work and excellent to watch. So nice to see tools and timber worked by a craftsman. Thank you.
Legend,.thanks Stuart
This was a lot of work and a lesson to those who think they can get a job like this done for a low price.
You make me want to be a carpenter. Excellent work and a great video too.
Absolutely beautiful job, oh to have a workshop like yours.
Thanks Steve!!! It certainly helps!
One of the best videos I have seen in a long long time! Love the detail. Thank you
Blimey, thanks for that! :)
Great to see we still have true craftsmen these days.
Excellent
Thankyou Mike 👍
You are a true craftsman with patience far beyond your years.
Thankyou Thomas :)
An excellent walkthrough, beautifully presented and completely addictive. I couldn't stop watching it!
Cheers Anthony thats good to hear! :)
That was absolutely brilliant mate, great talent and skills
Cheers mate :) How did you find the channel, my analytics has gone mad the last 24h!!
It just came up in my “you may also like” queue! And I’m glad it did, great video to watch! Have subscribed 🤩
CZcams algorithm coming up trumps for once! That was absolutely fantastic to watch. You’re a talented bloke for sure!
Nice one Dave, yes a few people have said the same about the algorith which is bloomin awesome to hear!
That's true craftsmanship. Great job.
Thankyou
Dennis you’ve given so much good advice through your channel in the last couple of years and 2022 looks like you’ll take it to the next level. You are CZcamss No.1 woodworking channel for the hobbyist as far as I’m concerned and I’m excited to follow your workshop project in the New Year.
All the best for 2022 and keep on doing what you do Dennis! 👏👏
Thanks Barry 👍👍👍
You two are funny. Nice chatting with you Bill and Frank. Lol. Joking aside that was very educational and fun to watch at the same time. Peace
Just found your channel, amazing job. I would love to be able to do wood working in a shop like that. Id build all new furniture for my house. Glad i found your channel.
Thanks Gene! Its taken years to progress to this stage, pleased to share it with you! Some more videos coming soon!
Great Job on the Repair Mate... It was so interesting and enjoyable to watch you transform that vintage door. I say it's least 50 years old.
Thanks for sharing, and keep up the great work.
Your Carpenter Friend from Tokyo Japan.
Thankyou for that, awesome to hear from someone so far away! I bet carpentry in Japan is a different league?!
On second thought you should be awarded TOP SHELF AWARD
Haha thanks for that!
Absolutely top class work. I was in awe watching you do this work. I wish we had tradesmen like you in Australia!
Thankyou Dee Bee, I am sure there are a few about! but hard to find no doubt
Excellent attention to detail. I enjoyed watching you go through the thought process of how you were going to address each of the problem areas.
Cheers for that Matt. Tha KS for watching 👍
Beautiful work. What a true craftsman.
Thankyou Harry
Super accurate work. Great processes and techniques.
Cheers Liam, appreciate it mate 😊👍
Fantastic, very professional job. Amazing how accurate your work can be with the correct machinery but still needs the tradies skills. All the best for the new year from new subscriber in Australia
Thankyou Gordon, Yes its needs everything to come together for the perfect job!
What an absolute treat it has been to watch you do your magic on this old door, well done and you've just won a new subscriber
Thanks Malcolm, much appreciated!
Ditto (as in well done and another new subscriber, not thanking Malcolm!)
Thanks Wayne 👍👍
Thanks for the inspiration! I just made a replacement bottom rail for our 81-year-old door. I don't have sizable machine tools in my current workshop, so I cut the tenons and the top channel on the table saw and used a chisel and a hand plane for the fine work. It took a while, but not longer than going to get bigger tooling that I won't use in the future. I'm happy enough that the door is solid again and functions normally. I was a bit intimidated by the project until seeing this video of yours. Much appreciated!
Brilliant work. Thanks for showing us.
Cheers Jack, no worries!
Right tools, right knowledge and skill. Excellent work love repairing things more then replacing
Duplicate! 👍
Wow that is an amazing job I hope the client was happy and paid you well.
Yes paid the bill and really chuffed to preserve a piece of history, And have a very nice restored door! I walk my dog past it everyday so i had to do a good job really haha!
Amazing attention to detail, thoroughly enjoyed your video.
Thankyou very much!
Beautiful job, lovely to see you work . Well done
Thankyou very much
Absolutely stunning!
Tools, tools! Festool envy!
I would love this vid to be used as a basis for a talk-over with comparative tools that would have been used 50, 100, 150 (?)... years ago.
That would be a neat video! Thanks man
Cool to watch. Great workshop - envious ! Not entirely sure most customers would have a clue what goes into such an extensive repair or the skill involved and therefore the justifiable cost !
Very true, the videos ive done of some customers projects has been absolutely invaluable, some even gobsmacked at the work involved!
Brilliant video and workmanship, thank you for taking the time to make and share 👏👍
Thanks for that mate! :)
Nice work. I have learned quite a lot from this film. Thank you for recording and sharing your skills.
Thats awesome to hear! Thankyou
Great job! lots of good info and learned some great tips. I dont have that wonderful industrial tenoning machine ,no biggie, it would just take a little longer. The 45 angled steps in the grafted styles I will certainly use, super cool!
Cheers Brian, Yeah its a great way to strengthen the joint into a solid part of the door
Loved the content and the procedure. Thats it, I’m subscribed, its always a pleasure watching someone who knows what he’s doing, carry out jobs like these. Why don’t you think about an apprentice? We’ll always need people with these skills. Job well done, thank you for sharing.
Maybe One day on the apprentice. My reason for doing the videos was mainly to share info as i hadnt taken on an apprentice. Thanks for the comment and sub :)
@@BradshawJoinery any youngster doing an apprenticeship with Bradshaw Joinery would be a lucky lucky barsteward 👍🏻
Inspiring. It's good to know you're out there doing this. Thank you.
Cheers Michael! Yes a few people doing similar work!
@@BradshawJoinery A few people can sing well, but not all of them can sing a Puccini opera. YOU are a master at what you do. There's a confidence in the way you move. That's a gift.
What a nice job of everything you've done. Excellent work. I've learned quite a lot. Thank you for posting ❤️
Cheers for that
I hope you charged well for such a professional job. Customers are so rarely aware of what goes into such a repair and so think it can be done for less than the cost of the materials! Great work.
THankyou, I charged my rate yes and worked out fairly economical for the customer too VS a new door
@@BradshawJoinery to be honest, with your skill and shop capabilities you could've produce a new door with the same efforts in no time
@@sakadabara that would be too easy!
@@johnnybravado1030 😃😃😃😃
Loved this video, great to see restoration over a new build. Can you tell me which filler you use for external purposes please?
I used a 2 part wood filler. They are all pretty similar so whichever brand is most accessible to you.
Bigger filling I'd look to use repair care and the wood hardeners
Absolutely beautiful. A joy to watch.
Cheers Harry
Amazing Job.... Very pleased to see.
Thanyou for that
Great to watch video, on my 2nd multitool now I think they are one of the most underrated modern tools out there, not only for carpentry but metal- plastics- tiles ETC
They are certainly more popular now than 10 years ago!
They had a Fein when I started in 2007. I've not seen another one until about 5 years ago when they started taking off!
I kept seeing them when I popped into the toolshop and kept thinking "What use are they?" Eventually I bought a Makita 18v one and the number of times it got me out of a fix... Hardly a job goes by without it being used. Underrated, as you say.
My Bosch 18V brushless multi tool is the best power tool I've purchased to date. Worth it's weight in gold and has paid for itself ten times over. A real game changer and the ultimate get out of jail card, 👍🔨🇮🇪
Really nicely done. i just have a question, did you treat the endgrain at the bottom of the framerepair ? and if not, why would that be ?
Thanks MAte, I put a clear End grain sealer on the bottom, its a product by sikkens, dries fairly fast. If your in a mega rust to seal end grain and have no other options, i have in the past allowed superglue to soak into the grain then use a spray activator to harden it instantly.
Sealing the end grain of accoya is only to benefit the paint adhesion really. the actual timber itself will not wrot even if completely saturated.. for a long time
@@BradshawJoinery nice. ty
Fabulous video. Great to watch really quality work!
Amazing, thankyou for that
Without any doubt, the multitool is the greatest tool invention in many decades.
haha yes James! they seem to have took off now. I remeber where i did my apprenticeship in 2007, they had a fein multitool in the workshop, that looked years old, so i dont think they are a new invention.
@@BradshawJoinery I use an AEG battery multitool and in my opinion they are one of the best because of all the different heads that can be attached to them. I've had mine for about 8 years and it's still going strong.
Great video and very instructive.
The new panels you made looked like MDF, is that what you used?
Cheers Lee, Yes Its Extreme MDF from Medite, made using Accoya wood fibres. Will last outside unpainted for 50 years!!!
Ive a test piece sitting in a puddle outside the workshop for 7 years now, other than it being very discouloured its still exactly the same .
@@BradshawJoinery Thanks for that explanation. I thought it looked looked like MDF too, and the only stuff I've seen turns to custard if you so much as show it a damp rag.
Splendid. Lovely to see such craftsmanship 😎
Thankyou, its great that the video is well recieved!
An absolute joy to watch!!!
Cheers Bobby! :)

Cheers Mike, I could never do anythign good enough for the boss i had as an apprentice. If it was perfect it was too slow... all while he sat on the computer watching movies and the business failed. I learnt a great deal there but most of the refinement and what i am showing is learned through education from compaines or development myself.
